Both pails should be wellpainted, inside and out. Sometimes the lower half of theinner pail is formed of copper or galvanized iron Avire-gauze. For fishing in a stream, where the angler is a-foot, a muchsmaller and lighter bucket must be used, on the score of por-tability and general convenience. In this case, the bucketis made single, usually, and of an oblong or oval shape,to admit of its being more readily carried.
